Who We Are
Who We Are
Lion’s Tooth Project is a community project in service of LGBTQIA+, Immigrant, Black / Indigenous, and POC youth. We serve young people in all of their intersecting identities inspiring them to have more agency over their own wellness, healing, and personal stories. We believe in the healing power of community, story-telling, art, and connection to the earth.
Our programs explore these core components through our herbalism and photography internships, drop-in hours, community workshops, and educator trainings.
OUR COMMUNITY
We connect youth with organizations, educators, healers, elders, and artists in the community to build a network of practice that supports their journeys as they define for themselves what healing and wellness looks-like.
“For as long as I can remember I thought healing was something that needed to be done alone, behind closed doors. Having the space to heal and explore ourselves and the earth was incredibly powerful and inspiring to me.”
JOIN OUR PROGRAMS! Internships + Drop-in Groups for youth 14-24.

“I was inspired to be part of Lion’s Tooth Project because of an urge to learn to grow things and a dream of having my own garden. After the sessions, my dad and I have both started our own little plant journeys, though I’m verging more towards medicine making while his goal is growing food!”
OUR PARTNERS
Lion’s Tooth Project is able to serve youth with the kind support of our partners. They uplift our work in different capacities by providing a space to host our programs, connecting us to their networks and collaborating in joint programing.
